What are your thoughts on the Disney Live-Action remakes? Seems like a cash grab by Disney to be honest and the quality doesn't seem to be quite there....
The Lion King - Can animals really show emotion? This movie missed the memo on animating the animals in the movie. Personally, I think the animation and CGI could have been A LOT better for a $100 million dollar plus film. I really enjoyed the classic film but couldn't get through the live action.
Mulan - I haven't watched and probably won't watch. However, I've heard from several reviews this was basically a westernized version of 'Chinese culture' in the film which was not taken very well in the controversies surrounding the film. With a whitewashed story, filming where there are concentration camps for Muslims are in China, and the lead actress supporting police brutality, it was only inevitable it ended up on the Disney+ platform without a theatrical release. Finally, no music.
There are a bunch of others in development such as 101 Dalmatians (Cruella), The Little Mermaid, Pinnochio, Peter Pan, etc. However, with the Money Mouse continually becoming a monopoly in the entertainment business, it's unclear how far Disney will go with the quality of these films.
